Latest Patents
DuVall holds a patent for "Optical components for live-fiber identifier and coupler." This invention is designed to detect the presence of light in a single mode optical fiber while it is in use. Additionally, it can introduce light into an optical fiber. The device comprises an identifier chip and a complementary shaped plate, both utilizing microbending and macrobending portions. The chip and plate are formed from a single piece of material, with the chip made from optically transmissive material. When in use, the chip is pressed against the plate with an optical fiber positioned in between. The deformation of the fiber due to the stress from the chip and plate results in detectable light emission through the chip if the fiber is live.
